Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Shantung opens with a vibrant, juicy burst of mandarin and litchi, immediately lifting the spirits. This fruity lightness soon gives way to a plush heart of rose and peony, creating a soft, cosmetic floral core. A whisper of incense adds a delicate, airy spice, preventing the florals from becoming too sweet, while the base of cashmere wood, musk, and cedar provides a comforting, gentle landing.
